| Subject: | Re: Carburator to manifolt nuts on Lycoming |
Your mechanic needs to go to the O-320 parts manual, and use the parts
called for, which I am pretty certain are the parts you mention, but
there should be a lock tab or equivalent that prevents the nut from
rotating. Parts substitution is not acceptable, he needs to have the
proper and current parts manual and go by the parts specified,
assuming it is on a certified engine on certified aircraft. He should
not be introducing his own idea of what is correct.
Experimental, you do what you want, and assume the risks.
